“the convergence of a living reality and a dream”  -Andre Breton

For Joshua Wells, art can explain the inexplicable and describe the indescribable. When he was admitted to an Early Intervention Service for Psychosis,

“the feeling of experiencing something that is so paradoxically psychotic when compared to ‘Reality’, is something that was, and still is profoundly bewildering.”

Psychological manifestations have been uncovered in many states, such as emotion, body communication, dialogue, childhood, and behaviours. Wells works on the blurred line between reality and delusion, informed by advances in research into communication patterns and their correlation in psychology.

He uses the Surrealist technique of Psychic Automatism as a tactic to articulate aspects of his unconscious, emulating a confrontation with the psyche, manifest through raw, vulnerable depictions of the human form, visualising intense psychological states.

THERE’S A SOFT WORLD JUST UNDER THE SURFACE OF THIS ONE. YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING PULLED TAUGHT OVER IT. I CAN FEEL ITS TEXTURE WHEN YOU HOLD MY HAND. WHEN WE TOUCH IT, NOTHING WILL BE THE SAME EVER AGAIN.
